Application lcd February 5, 1854.

l top of the frame-work. The letter H indi- To @ZZ whom t may concern:

Be it known that I, GHRrsToPHER C. WAR- REN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Lodi, in the county of Montgomery and State of Mississippi, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cotton-Gin Gearing, of which the following is a speciiication, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to certain improvements in cotton-gin gearing, and it has for its object to provide a convenient means for transmitting motion to the machinery of the gins, as more fully hereinafter specified. This i 5 object I attain by the mechanism represented in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure lis a side elevation of my invention 5 and Fig. 2 represents a view of a portion of the gearing, showing the same partly in sec- 2o tion and partly in elevation.

The letter A indicates a frame-work or structure of any suitable character to support the working parts of the gearing.

B is the driving-shaft, which is mounted in a vertical position, being stepped in a suitable bearing at its lower end, and journaled suitably at its upper end. The said shaft is provided with a horizontal crown-wheel, C, and sweeps D, which are continuations of the 3o spokes of the wheel on opposite sides.

-The letter E indicates a vertical gear-wheel, which intermeshes with the teeth ofthe horizontal crown-wheel before mentioned. The said wheel E is mounted upon a sha-ft, F,which 3 5 is journaled in hangers G, depending from the (No model.)

cates a horizontal shaft, which is j ournaled in bearings in the hangers I. The said shaft is provided with a cog-pinion, K, (intergearing with the Wheel E,) and with a band-pulley, L, i0 and ily-wheel M. The respective hangers are steadied by braces N, secured to the framework or structure A. The working parts of the machinery receive their motion from a suitable belt passing over the band-wheel.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by `Letters Patent, 1s-

In a cotton-gin gearing, the combination of the f rame or structure with the vertical shaft journaled therein, the horizontal crown-wheel geared on its outer edge and supported bythe elongated spokes, the vertical gear-wheel engagingwith the said crown-wheel and supported by suitable hangers, and the balancing and transmitting mechanism consisting of a horizontal shaft supported by hangers, and

' provided near one end witha band-wheel and near the other with a ily or balance wheel, and near its center with a pinion-wheel engaging with the vertical gear-wheel which engages with the gear on the driving or crown wheel, all the parts being arranged to operate as an entirety substantially as described.

In testimony whereofI afliX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
